[NHCOLL-L:1044] Coelacanth

[Andy Bentley]

Hi all

Sorry not really a collection thing but for all you fish people and anyone
else interested there is live footage of the first coelacanth ever seen by
divers up on the web.  The coelacanth was filmed by divers off the South
African coast this week and is available for viewing (with a nominal $10 fee
which goes towards the research) at www.world-stream.com.  The footage is
taken at 105m depth and the visibility was 50 metres.  Well worth  a view
